Helping the Nation to Tackle Obesity Problems

dietcare, formerly Vitaline, has been in the healthy eating, weight management business since 1976.  Over 30 years’ experience helping struggling  slimmers to achieve their dream of healthier, slimmer bodies has endorsed the company as a leading authority in the field of obesity.

“Our Government is so concerned about the huge increase in the nation’s obesity that strategies and massive funding is being targeted to resolve this problem.  This opens a niche market for dietcare franchisees”
- Norah Elizabeth Lane, dietcare founder

dietcare weight loss clinics offer their customers a unique and professional service, which enables the franchise owner to build a highly successful business.

dietcarefranchise owners support all clients with individual appointments on a one-to-one consultative basis.  The head office dietetic team constructs all healthy eating plans based on information gathered by the franchisee.  These in-dividualised healthy eating plans are then forwarded via our intranet to each franchisee, who explains them to the client at the following consultation.

The medical profession has referred many patients to dietcare franchisees, so it is important that our dietcare franchisees have the confidence to know they are fully supported from head office.

dietcare private consultations are held in medical centres, clinics or high street beauty spas.  These premises are usually initially rented on a daily or weekly basis thus cutting out the need for long leasing agreements.  Advice and assistance in finding suitable venues is provided by the dietcare training team.

All dietcare franchisees will be trained in the Royal Institute of Public Health practices and will be awarded RIPH qua-lifications, in order to acquire referrals from the medical profession. dietcare is the only slimming organisation that has the RIPH qualification.

Motivation and listening ability as well as a genuine desire to help struggling slimmers are essential qualities necessary in all dietcare franchisees.

In 1998 a pilot scheme to launch our first franchise operation commenced.  This was based on franchise owners op-erating on a one day per week basis.  Over the next 10 years we expanded our network using this model.  Experience and demand have demonstrated that the time is now right to widen the franchise opportunity even further.  Our new revised package now enables franchise owners to develop their business into a full time clinic, if they wish.  For the more ambitious owner, with real commitment, it is possible to expand the business and operate several clinics in their protected territory. 

Norah told us “Our objective is to make dietcare a household name in the UK.  This re-launch gives us the competitive edge.  With our vast experience we know what our customers want from a diet clinic and our new franchise training package has been developed to provide this.  It is our intention to expand our network of dietcare clinics across the country.  In order to achieve this goal we have franchise opportunities available in a number of areas within the United Kingdom”.
